Yeah, no kidding. Finely strung out plastic wool and a candle right below it? Smells like the whole gaming table is about to become a explosion marker... Looks nice though. At least until your house catches fire.

I think that's an LED tea light candle, so it shouldn't be a fire hazard

Yeah, I was going to ask if it was an LED "candle" . This looks pretty cool. I have made mine out of stuffing, used spray paint, and touched up with reds, oranges, and yellows. Made a few dozen with my kids. When we play, I swear evey time a missile or plasma gun blast hits anything my daughter says we have to put down an explosion marker. She would love these, the flickering is pretty cool.

Wow stunning ill being buying some LED candles and hay look its xmas they are easy to find! I guess you could use a filter to change the colour or dim the light further for smaller fires ect too.
Great job!

I bet you can experiment with differen colours of LED's, like light blue maybe for high temperature burning)

Great stuff! cheers.

another great tutorial, very simple but effective! Thank you Eon
